Altenew August Inspiration Challenge

Hello everyone, 

Happy Monday! 

Today I am celebrating 24 years of being married to my favorite person! 

My husband is truly my best friend and we have grown so much over the years.  

Even as I sit here crafting and blogging he is making us dinner.  

How does it get any better then that! 

I love the colors in this months inspiration challenge at Altenew. 

Click here for the blog post and play along!

I pulled out my Altenew Red Cosmos Mini Cube inks and they matched perfectly! 

No Flamingos in the house so I decided to go with flowers. 

I know, shocking! 

I masked off the area for the sentiment, then stamped the roses and leaves.  

I finished by adding some small flowers from the Altenew set and using the same ink and a brush to color them in. Then I stamped the sentiment in Moon Rock and added some lines with a silver gel pen.  I finished by adding some dots using a brush and water along with the Moon Rock ink. 

I finished by layering the card with coordinating pink and red cardstock. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week!

MFT Camp Create

And our final day at Camp Create has come to an end.  

I had a great time and want to take a second to thank MFT stamps for hosting camp create and being so generous with prizes! 

Today's camp craft is Shadow Stamping. 

I've never stamped shadows, I've always used markers to make my shadows so this was a new technique for me.  

Another one layer card for ease of mailing.  

I stamped the image in white and then stamped the same image in the same color as the patterned paper.  I also tried shadow stamping with my sentiment.  

And with that I have earned all the camp create badges for this week! 

 

And here is one last look at my group of cards for camp create. 

Thanks again MFT for a fun week! 

Hugs and love, until next time!

MFT Camp Create Farewell Bonfire!

Camp week is quickly coming to an end and who doesn't like a good 

Bonfire to celebrate an awesome week!

 Bonfire Craft – Single Layer Savvy

I love the simplicity of a single layer card.  I stamped the images from Sweet Rose then colored with polychromas pencils.  Doesn't get any easier then that!
And now I have a card perfect to mail from camp.  

And the badge for attending the closing Bonfire. 

And all my badges this week!

See you tomorrow :)

MFT Camp Create! Divine Dry Embossing

Hello Campers! 

We are well into the dog days of summer here in PA, 

so it's a perfect time to camp out in the craft room for another camp create challenge.  

Today's challenge was to use dry embossing on your project.  

I chose the die-namics stitched jumbo fishtail banner stax to cut a banner,

then I embossed the next size down for my dry embossed element. 

I layered the fish tail banner over patterned paper from the lucky prints patterned paper.  

I love the tiny dots and hearts in this patterned paper pack.  

The stamped flowers are from Sweet Roses, I used water and a brush to soften the color, 

then I stamped  the stems from Pretty Poppies. 

I finished with the sentiment from Sweet Roses. 

Today I earned this badge for creating a dry embossed project. 

So far I have earned the following badges! Go ME! Woohoo!

And that's all from my studio for this day of Camp Create! 

Have a great day, and I hope your keeping cool!

Hey, hey campers! 

I'm back with my third day of camp project.  

My inspiration for today's card is all the beautiful leaves that are on our trees right now. 

It won't belong after camp is over that school will be starting and fall will be upon us.

Then the trees will be painted with beautiful fall colors.

MFT Camp Create

Happy camp day 2 campers! 

Hope you slept well and the mosquitoes didn't bother you to much.  

Here at my camp it's a cool 72 degrees, 

and no bugs being bothersome, 

but I did notice several varieties of butterflies gathering on my blooming butterfly bush. 

It's so pretty with the deep purple cones of flowers.  

It did rain this morning so it was nice to stay in camp for today's fun. 

Today's camp project is...

The definition of ombre is the French word for color that is shaded or graduated in tone.

I used ombre in both my background and my stamped sentiment.
